Abstract: This request is for revision and three-year extension of a currently approved information collection. This request seeks to merge OMB Control No. 0648-0472 (NOAA Restoration Center) into 0648-0718, at which point 0648-0472 will be discontinued. NOAA also proposes to add a new collection of information for Coral Reef Conservation Program Performance Progress Reports, update the Marine Debris Program Performance Progress Report form, and revise the title of this information collection from NOAA Marine Debris Program Performance Progress Report to NOAA Financial Assistance Performance Progress Reports.
